If this agreement covers inventory, I will not dispose of it except in my ordinary course
of business at the fair market value for the Property, or at a minimum price established between
you and me. If this agreement covers farm products I will provide you, at your request, a written list of
the buyers, commission merchants or selling agents to or through whom I may sell my farm products.
In addition to those parties named on this written list, I authorize you to notify at your sole
discretion any additional parties regarding your security interest in my farm products. I remain
subject to all applicable penalties for selling my farm products in violation of my agreement
with you and the Food Security Act. In this paragraph the terms farm products, buyers, commission
merchants and selling agents have the meanings given to them in the Federal Food Security Act of
1985. If this agreement covers chattel paper or instruments, either as original collateral or
proceeds of the Property, I will note your interest on the face of the chattel paper or
instruments. REMEDIES- I will be in default on this security agreement if I am in default on any note this
agreement secures or if I fail to keep any promise contained in the terms of this agreement. If I
default, you have all of the rights and remedies provided in the note and under the Uniform
Commercial Code. You may require me to make the secured property available to you at a place which
is reasonably convenient. You may take possession of the secured property and sell it as provided
by law. The proceeds will be applied first to your expenses and then to the debt. I agree that 10
days written notice sent to my last known address by first class mail will be reasonable notice
under the Uniform Commercial Code.


My current address is on page 1. PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST- I authorize you to file a financing statement covering the
Property. I will comply with, facilitate, and otherwise assist you in connection with obtaining
possession of or control over the Property for purposes of perfecting your security interest under
the Uniform Commercial Code. ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTE DEFINITIONS- As used
on pages 1 and 2, þ means the terms that apply to this loan. I, me
or my means each Borrower who signs this note and each other person or legal entity (including
guarantors, endorsers, and sureties) who agrees to pay this note (together referred to as us).
You or your means the Lender and its successors and assigns. APPLICABLE LAW- The law of the state in which you are located will govern this agreement. Any
term of this agreement which is contrary to applicable law will not be effective, unless the law
permits you and me to agree to such a variation. If any provision of this agreement cannot be
enforced according to its terms, this fact will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of
this agreement. No modification of this agreement may be made without your express written
consent. Time is of the essence in this agreement. PAYMENTS- Each
payment I make on this note will first reduce the amount I owe you for charges
which are neither interest nor principal. The remainder of each payment will then reduce accrued
unpaid interest, and then unpaid principal. If you and I agree to a different application of
payments, we wilt describe our agreement on this note. I may prepay a part of, or the entire
balance of this loan without penalty, unless we specify to the contrary on this note. Any partial
prepayment will not excuse or reduce any later scheduled payment until this note is paid in full
(unless, when I make the prepayment, you and I agree in writing to the contrary). INTEREST- Interest accrues on the principal remaining unpaid from time to time, until paid in
full. If I receive the principal in more than one advance, each advance will start to earn
interest only when I receive the advance. The interest rate in effect on this note at any given
time will apply to the entire principal sum outstanding at that time. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, I do not agree to pay and you do not intend to charge any rate of interest that is
higher than the maximum rate of interest you could charge under
applicable law for the extension
of credit that is agreed to in this note (either before or after maturity). If any notice of
interest accrual is sent and is in error, we mutually agree to correct it, and if you actually
collect more interest than allowed by law and this agreement, you agree to refund it to me. INDEX RATE- The index
will serve only as a device for setting the interest rate on this note. You
do not guarantee by selecting this index, or the margin, that the interest rate on this note will
be the same rate you charge on any other loans or class of loans you make to me or other
borrowers. POST MATURITY RATE -  For purposes of deciding when the Post Maturity Rate (shown on page 1)
applies, the term maturity means the date of the last scheduled payment indicated on page 1 of
this note or the date you accelerate payment on the note, whichever is earlier. SINGLE ADVANCE LOANS- If this is a single advance loan, you and I expect that you will make only
one advance of principal. However, you may add other amounts to the principal if you make any
payments described in the PAYMENTS BY LENDER paragraph on page 2. MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOANS- If this is a multiple advance loan, you and I expect that you will make more than one advance of principal. If this is closed end credit,
repaying a part of the principal will not entitle me to additional credit. SET-OFF- I agree that you may set off any amount due and payable under this note against any right
I have to receive money from you. Right to receive money from you means:  (1)
    any deposit account balance I have with you;(2)
    any money owed to me on an item presented to you or in your
possession for collection or exchange; and(3)
    any repurchase agreement or other nondeposit obligation. Any amount due and payable under this note means the total amount of which you are entitled
to demand payment under the terms of this note at the time you set off. This total includes any
balance the due date for which you properly accelerate under this note. If my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not agreed to pay this
note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in the obligation and to any other amounts
I could withdraw on my sole request or endorsement. Your right not set-off does not apply to an
account or other obligation where any rights are only as a representative. It also does not apply
to any Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account. You
will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because you set
off this debt against any of my accounts. I agree to hold you harmless from any such claims
arising as a result of your exercise of your right to set-off. DEFAULT- I will be in
default if any one or more of the following occur: (1) I fail to make a
payment on time or in the amount due; (2) I fail to keep the Property insured, if required; (3) I
fail to pay, or keep any promise, on any debt or agreement I have with you; (4) any other creditor
of mine attempts to collect any debt I owe him through court proceedings; (5) I die, am declared
incompetent, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become insolvent (either because
my liabilities exceed my assets or I am unable to pay my debts as they become due); (6) I make any
written statement or provide any financial information that is untrue or inaccurate at the time it
was provided; (7) I do or fail to do something which causes you to believe you will have
difficulty collecting the amount I owe you; (8) any collateral securing this note is used in a
manner or for a purpose which threatens confiscation by a legal authority; (9) I change my name or
assume an additional name without first notifying you before making
such a change; (10) I fail to
plant, cultivate and harvest crops in due season; (11) any loan
proceeds are used for a purpose
that will contribute to excessive erosion of highly erodible land or to the conversion of wetlands
to produce an agricultural commodity, as further explained in 7 C.F.R. Part 1940, Subpart G,
Exhibit M. REMEDIES- If I am in default on this note you have, but are not limited to, the following
remedies:  (1)
    You may demand immediate payment of all I owe you under this note (principal, accrued
unpaid interest and other accrued unpaid charges).(2)
    You may set off this debt against any right I have to the payment of money from you,
subject to the terms of the SET-OFF paragraph herein.(3)
    You may demand security, additional security, or additional parties
to be obligated to pay this note as a condition for not using any
other remedy.(4)
    You may refuse to make advances to me or allow purchases on
credit by me.(5)
    You may use any remedy you have under state or federal law.(6)
    You may make use of any remedy given to you in any agreement securing this note. By selecting any one or more of these remedies you do not give up your right to use later any
other remedy. By waiving your right to declare an event to be a default, you do not waive your
right to consider later the event a default if it continues or happens again. COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES- I agree to pay all costs of collection, replevin or any
other or similar type of cost if I am in default. In addition, if you hire an attorney to collect
this note, I also agree to pay any fee you incur with such attorney plus court costs (except where
prohibited by law). To the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I also agree to
pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs you incur to collect this debt as awarded by any
court exercising jurisdiction under the Bankruptcy Code. WAIVER- I give up my
rights to require you to do certain things. I will not require you to:  (1)
    demand payment of amounts due (presentment);(2)
    obtain official certification of nonpayment (protest); or(3)
    give notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of dishonor). I waive any defenses I have based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT- I understand that I must pay this note even if someone else has also
agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form or a separate guarantee or endorsement). You
may sue me alone, or anyone else who is obligated on this note, or any number of us together, to
collect this note. You may without notice release any party to this agreement without releasing
any other party. If you give up any of your rights, with or without notice, it will not affect my
duty to pay this note. Any extension of new credit to any of us, or renewal of this note by all or

less than all of us will not release me from my duty to pay it. (Of course, you are entitled to
only one payment in full.) I agree that you may at your option extend this note or the debt
represented by this note, or any portion of the note or debt, from time to time without limit or
notice and for any term without affecting my liability for payment of the note. I will not assign
my obligation under this agreement without your prior written approval. CREDIT INFORMATION- I agree and authorize you to obtain credit information about me from time to
time (for example, by requesting a credit report) and to report to others your credit experience
with me (such as a credit reporting agency). I agree to provide you, upon request, any financial
statement or information you may deem necessary, I warrant that the financial statements and
information I provide to you are or will be accurate, correct and complete. SIGNATURES: I AGREE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS NOTE (INCLUDING THOSE ON PAGES 1, 2 AND 3). I have received a copy on todays date. CUISINE SOLUTIONS INCSTANISLAS VILGRAIN, CEO
